I got 30 out of 33 (90.91%).

I missed the declaration of independence. Screwed it up with the due process clause. I also got the Purtian one wrong, damn Puritians. I also got wrong (which I am in protest) what the government should do in a recession: I stated decrease taxes and spending, while their answer was decrease taxes, but increase spending.

Logic prevails! In order to get the economy moving, people need to spend money, which increases sales, and manufacturing at all levels to support those sales, which means more people employed and paying taxes.

Rab, the personal attacks don't mean anything. The fact that the reactionary right cannot carry on sensible discussions and rational alternatives to problems today indicate why the Dems are beating the Pubs down. With folks like you influencing the GOP, it will lose again this fall and again in 2012.

This sort of nonsense is why no one takes you personally.
I would find it hard to accept that you truly believe this spew, but I've met brain damaged liberals before.

Jake....another Pub proves your contention

You guys certainly take it personally, whacko reactionaries, otherwise you would not respond as you do.

The libs and the moderates and the rational conservatives, though, do get our grins and chuckles reading your stuff.

Perhaps you'll grin and chuckle when the Democrats get soundly trounced in the fall. Or perhaps you truly believe that the economy will recover to the point that they will have a chance at the only poll that counts.

Thats it in a nutshell

The economy will be the only critical issue in November

Repubs are going to have to answer why they did nothing to help the economy recover

 

[Charles Stucker]

Repubs are going to have to answer why they did nothing to help the economy recover

Answer - because they were powerless to stop the Democrats from making things worse.

 

[ElmerMudd]

Repubs are going to have to answer why they did nothing to help the economy recover

Answer - because they were powerless to stop the Democrats from making things worse.

Powerless to do anything,please. That is a panty ass cop out.

If they wanted to work with the Democrats and affect the legislation they could. They are saying what they don't like, not what they would do and offer an alternative.

They don't want to regulate derivatives because the big money financial institutions don't want them regulated because it would limit the obscene profits they can make.
Republicans are backing b ig over sized financial institutions who are worse than big government in their ability to take advantage of the average guy.

Dumbshit.
The Dems had no incentive to work with them and accept any "input" that ran counter to the Left. So rather than being an amen corner for the Dems the GOP took the right path and opposed this socialist takeover of our country in any way they could.

Republicans still have nothing to show for what they did to help the country rebound from the greatest recession in 70 years. They can point out the fact that they tried to block every initiative and that they voted NO.
The resulting dynamic rebound of the economy was done without republican support....let them explain that to America
That Socialist, Un-constitutional, "government takeover" crap is not going to cut it. Neither are all of their pronouncements of impending doom

Yeah, you're right. No point even going to the polls in Nov. Just sit home and watch the Democratic tide roll in.

The economy will be the keystone issue come November. Let each candidate explain what he or she did to help the United States recover and let the chips fall where they may

 

[Charles Stucker]

No

Because the initiatives were more of the failed socialist crap that helped lead to this mess. No wonder they wanted to stop them.

The resulting dynamic rebound of the economy was done without republican support....

In case it slipped your notice jobs are still tight. That is the single economic indicator which counts, not the "Wall Street Stockbrokers recouped their personal fortunes under Democrats" when the market went up, not the "We created lots of jobs with our bookkeeping changes" and certainly not the "We'll just SPEND our way out of debt."

When one is at the bottom of a deep hole, the strategy to get out is not to keep digging lower.

OK, if your issue is jobs, then lets look at the employment rate come November and let the candidates defend what they did to create jobs and how their initiatives helped the economy as a whole and jobs specifically..

Still....all the Republicans have to offer is they voted NO

 

[Charles Stucker]

No

When the alternative to voting no is to agree to more socialism I will back the naysayer every time.

Republicans will have to answer for their votes. Why the projected gloom and doom did not come to pass. Their "Socialist/unconstitutional/government takeover" rhetoric is not going to cut it if and when jobs come back

"If". At last Leftwinger gets it. Those jobs will not come back. The gov't has made it far more expensive to hire people so fewer people will be hired.
We are in a great recovery. A great one if you are a wall st banker or SEIU executive. Because those are the Democrats' constituents, those are the people they represent. They sure don't represent average Americans. Republicans do that.
